11:03 am
advancing from benghazi to edge to be able to try and help the economy and fellow fighters there now overnight here in the capital city of tripoli there were major explosions most of them came from the south of the city there was a lot of smoke in the skies that is where the compound of gadhafi is situated it has already been hit before a three story building where the controls the command and control center for his operations was we were told really destroyed but certainly here for several hours throughout the night mandate it was anti aircraft fire canada is the latest to send four fighter jets we understand that they have flown over libya but they haven't actually as of your participated in any operations they've also seems to refueling tanks here qatar has sinned six fighter jets they have landed in crete the british thai food france has had also participated in the first ever combat mission that took place on monday and we've been told that they will be a national meeting of united nations. if you council that will be held this coming
11:04 am
thursday to discuss these latest developments and the latest operations on the ground what is also seen in the lawn bills is that we are hearing from rebel leaders that as they advance race what's he trying to recapture some of the towns and some of the cities that they've lost money means a national community more a cover so people are asking well just time voting for just how long is the international community to keep going to provide those any kind about and what will be the continuous climb up civilians more people on the ground becoming increasingly alarmed that innocent people are going to be killed. stay right up close to the action in libya on our website and also our page argues publicly or you just saw reporting from libya there sara's heart inside experience from the capital tripoli in her blog and her latest post she explains how difficult it is to get anything done in the capital that's due to the complicated procedure of asking government minors for permission you can also find a link to paula's blog as well as her latest updates on the situation in libya on
11:05 am
our twitter page that's our to underscore krom. moscow is standing firm over the crisis in libya saying the no fly zone over the constant search be used only to protect civilians and greenpeace president medvedev stance has been backed by russia's defense minister who has met with the pentagon chief or his company not a czar of one has more from. u.s. a good secretary of defense robert gates met with his russian counterpart in moscow today of the day is of course the second day of his visit to russia he spent yesterday and some hears words and during the discussion the two men talked about all things relevant to the relationship between moscow and washington of those of course including the start treaty and all the work being done there the collaboration between russia and the coalition forces led of course by the united states and afghanistan the two men of course could not avoid the subject of libya
11:06 am
russia once again reiterating its position that the u.n. resolution one thousand nine hundred eighty three was basically enforced in order to ensure a no fly zone that would in fact it in turn to guarantee civilians on the ground in libya some sort of security and safety that has not been the case so far according to russian politicians and russian officials and u.s. secretary of defense robert gates seemed to agree with that statement saying that the military. incursion into libya and the military presence in libya will have to be significantly decreased and that libyans and only libyans have the power and of the right to decide the fate of their own country version of president that he didn't actually took the problem even further out of the conflict in libya according to him has not only affected that country but also the north african region and also could in fact in danger of the peace process negotiations that
11:07 am
concern the middle east that of course was said during a meeting between the russian president leader of the palestinian national authority mahmoud abbas which also took place here in moscow's russian foreign minister also boys to his concerns saying that he believes that it's the situation in libya worsens and the military presence in libya does continue it could actually lead to further destabilization all the entire region and possibly even of the spread of international terrorism. well in britain there appears to be inconsistency about the aims the coalition is pursuing in libya prime minister cameron says that regime change is not on the table but the u.k. defense and foreign secretaries have said that there is a possibility that troops could target colonel gadhafi or emmet has the latest from the. governments both in front of it scenes and also behind the scenes is arguing that gadhafi himself could be construed as threats to the civilian population and
11:08 am
therefore it would be illegal and within the terms of the un security council resolution to endeavor to target him of the other side we got the army and the chief of the defense staff who when asked if he thought it was permitted under the terms of the resolution to target personally he unequivocally said absolutely not and said that he didn't want to discuss this any further we are seeing in this therefore international division as well the senior people in washington also say that direct strike against gadhafi would not be permitted under the terms of the security council resolution now why is this so important well of course it belies confusion within the ranks as far as this no fly zone and this military intervention is concerned it shows a lack of planning why weren't these questions discussed before they went in were they in fact and the u.n. security council will come out but now the the resolution is open to a bit of playing with words a bit of interpretation after the ferocity of the first air strikes that we saw the arab league said this is not really what we signed up for so it also raises the
11:09 am
specter of those dreaded words regime change which brings up shades of iraq with not very many people in this country the general feeling would be that the country would not tolerate another iraq like situation so the government is being urged by factions inside it to stick religiously to the terms of this u.n. security council resolution to avoid this mission creep and to avoid this sort of open ended commitment to having military intervention in the region but it seems that with this reinterpretation of what the resolution actually means it's kind of playing with the words the government isn't actually doing that and doesn't look like it will. well india has flat out refused to support the invasion of the private new coalition saying not enough time was devoted to a peaceful resolution as artie's previous streeter reports it sounds like certain countries jumped the gun comments or adventism regime change. and they felt it to support any sort of being stand or air strikes would eventually be promoting
11:10 am
imperialism and they don't want to have anything if you want to. prevent all the way to developments on our website at www dot com. as the allied bombing of the bia and thursday three americans getting involved in another long term war which will ruin its economy that's the opinion of lou brockwell chairman of the us based research institute. they want to divide and conquer just like the romans so they this is a this is not by the way not a no fly zone it's also a no drive zone and no walk. in there but they mediately and they didn't keep them as bad as it would be to intervene to keep airplanes from flying immediately or attacking people on the ground and of course killing a lot of a lot of people want a blood flowing. we don't know who's what it is but i do think it's a good thing that out of. this is not a good thing that we have another war going on and i must say from the standpoint
11:11 am
of an american concern with the fact that our government is broke that the dollar is going down the drain that the government is putting the whole country of the most horrific financial circumstances here there starting yet another war to spend who knows how many billions of dollars makes the military industrial complex very happy i must say among us taxpayers if we don't like these rebels are being led by former officials of how they got off you were to meet on a bunch of libertarians so i think yes as they struggle for power and as one group will want the u.s. helping them we will be regional players whether it's the people within egypt or sudan or some of the other countries of europe but they don't want another u.s. occupation right in their backyard so yeah i think there could be much more of an open civil war. but the u.s. is planning to hand over its leading role in the operation in libya and the question now is who will pick up professor hall gardener from the american
11:12 am
university in paris says nato will not be able to because of internal finance. they are really is that the two major allies in nato germany and turkey have been the most consistent critics of the post they were best allies during the cold war and become the most reluctant to engage in military actions and after the cold war so you see that miracle but you also see that in the military opposition to any trying to slow military participation within a nato context i think that nato could probably stay in the background but it would not be a nato operation. but you can also keep up with the very latest on the libyan crisis line any time you've gone out for you to channel to see dramatic footage of the very latest developments in the country plus joint lightly debate on the french ally of the country on our facebook page and have your say.
